Communities across the United States answered the call from State Farm® to submit causes that would make a positive impact in their neighborhoods. Now the Children’s Discovery Museum is the only Maine organization that made it to the voting phase and they need your help. From Aug. 16 through Aug. 25, anyone with a valid email address can vote for their favorite cause at www.neighborhoodassist.com to help bring a $25,000 grant to each of the top 40 vote-getters.
Two thousand submissions were received through State Farm Neighborhood Assist, a crowd-sourced philanthropic program that empowers communities to identify issues in their neighborhoods. At least one cause was received from every state. The State Farm Review Committee selected the top 200 finalists.
The 200 causes have until Aug. 25 to rally votes and anyone voting is allowed up to 10 votes per day. On Good Neighbor Day, Sept. 28th, the top 40 vote-receiving causes will be announced at www.neighborhoodassist.com and a $25,000 grant will be awarded to each of the affiliated nonprofits.

“Neighborhood Assist is another example of State Farm successfully turning caring into doing in communities all across the U.S.” said Matthew S. Hodson, Vice President-Agency. “The communities themselves play an important role in inspiring people to rally and vote for these important causes,” he added.
